Managua

Ufff....it is hot in here.....The heatwave hit us straight away after we got off the plane. Two days befor arriving I started reading Ryszard Kapuscinki's book "Football War"-in the first two pages he describes how difficult it is to sleep in the tropics unless you get drunk on  rum. So we will see how it goes.... Managua shocked us. We a kind of knew what to expect but still it is a very different city from the ones we are used to. We went to see Cathedral and Palacio National but Cathedral is a ruin (it was not rebuil after the earthquake due to the lack of funds) and it is quite dangerous around Plaza Manumental. All the taxi drivers were warning us constantly.There is also National Museum and some government buildings around but we decided to skip them. Generally there is not much to see. The main turist attractions are located in Granada and Leon therefore we will concentrate on these two towns which are apparently more tourist-friendly. But first we will head for a long surf session in San Juan del Sur after Marcin's bag arrives from Amsterdam (it didn't arrive with us yesterday and poor Marcin is suffering wearing long jeans).
Farita: the watermellon mission ended up sucessfully: we bought one;))))))
